Also I think they would choose to call it blue because ‘blue’ just sounds more emotional/romantic than the word ‘purple’

Remember the song “Purple people eater.” Just doesn’t sound very serious. LOL.

Well, it certainly look purplish… more towards the blue-purple rather than red-purple obviously.

Quachee… ehh… that would be a bit ugly ain’t so?

it is purple. however, suntory is the first who made it by genetic engineering, as well as clone engineering, not by dying techniques or other trick. maybe we need to wait some more years to see it naturally growing and become close to blue than purple.

i’ve seen a guy at my school give a girl a blue rose on valentine’s day.
it was very blue, not like the one in the picture, so i guess it was dyed.
red, purple, or blue, i think roses are no doubt a very beautiful and romantic flower.

Blue + red = purple. Ofcourse there are varying dgrees of this mix. If it steers more towards the blue side then people may see blue or lavender. Go the other way and some see a deep deep red.

Color is interesting stuff sometimes…it’s all in the eye of the beholder. ;)

Then again, that photo made not be entirely acurate as to the real life color.
